Could I get some advice on a strange question? I am an artificial intelligence researcher at a well-known university, and I want to create a dataset of MMD models (with R-18 and R-15 models filtered out) for noncommercial scientific research. Such a dataset would be useful for computer graphics, computer vision, robotics, and other related disciplines. Currently, there are no large-scale datasets of 3D humanoid models

Are there any limitations or rules that would prevent me from doing this? How many MMD models could I realistically collect over the course of a semester?

>>2154363well indeed that's not a question we usually see in these kind of threads.unfortunately some modelers tend to be easily frustated if you plan to make another route for distributing their models, whose penalties vary from asking you to remove that redistribution link, to kill his/her own distribution link after asking you to do the same, and even going full internet suicide and SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING, but the latter has happened like once iirc (or at least that's what i'm hoping)they state their rules in their readme files, and the not redistribution rule appears usually. there's also a "use for mmd only" rule so using it in other programs can be troublesome.a good deal of the good looking models tend to be in japanese so it can be a hassle to ask each one for permission too, and sometimes they are really dickish to the point they only let japanese people to use their models.>How many MMD models could I realistically collect over the course of a semester?if you don't mind the quality of the models, i would say over 200, but since you already got that 58gb set, maybe like a 40% could be edits of the models you have already

>>2154388Releasing the dataset might not be legally feasible then. There are datasets that rely on more liberal interpretations of fair use compared to what I'm doing (for example, there's complete archive of Danbooru that contains paid content that's not supposed to be distributed), but I don't want to risk legal troubles.I'll have to consult with my department's legal staff.Thank you for the information.>if you don't mind the quality of the models, i would say over 200, but since you already got that 58gb set, maybe like a 40% could be edits of the models you have alreadyI have ~500 so far from the MMD Collection.

>>2154619yes, the point is to make the motions less robotic as every time you move you don't move from a to b in a constant speed.I also recall reading in learnmmd that it has something to do with making circle motions, like arm rotation.>>2154419its a gray area, a lot of rules are just made by clueless teens that think 6 hours on a model makes it their property.posting the database wouldn't be much of an issue on of itself. problems would arise from people using your database.ive posted large quantities of models and as a result there are numerous patreon money grabers , that just cycle through the models while generally making no effort in making content, which pisses off a lot of people.

>>2155077Photoshop.copy the color ID number you want paste on the textureselect the area you will changeimage->adjustments-> replace colorleft click on a color you wish to change in the selected areause the fuzziness slider to control the gradient area of the new colorleft click on the lower colored box with "result" written on itpaste the color ID you selected previouslyok->oksince most body textures consist of 2 shading colors you repeat the process with the rest of the texture coloration. the key is, while selecting color, to pick the most bright and the most dark colored pixels, while doing this.

>>2154906nigga i still have her (i even used her for a kuro/chloe expy just for fun eons ago after seeing someone doing it too). i just checked her again and the original model doesn't have nips and labia, it's the same way of hiding the parts in the tight underwear that tsumidango has been doing since the start. oshiki has her lewd bits already without the need of filling any holes.

>>2155077>>2155142you can also get the UV mapping plugin for pmxeditor, use the face texture of the model you took the body, apply the face texture to the face you want to headswap and then use the plugin to remap it. then you need to check if the lighting of the head and body matches, same for the sphere and toonthat should give you a more "seamless" result, provided that the normals of the face don't get fucked after applying these new toons/spheres, and that you managed to joint the vertex without fucking the weighting and texture mapping.

When I go to youtube and see a bumfuck random MMD video with bumfuck random everything, wearing a bumfuck random bikini. Do people in the community consider this god tier content or something? I just don't understand. Everything seems generic with no direction, and I would even say explicit videos are worse since the camera and dancing makes the explicit content visible like 50% of the time, taking up 3% of the screen at any given time. Compared to the "well she's a girl and she's dancing" lukewarm feeling of every bikini MMD ever.

>>2155353Wasn't it like 2 years ago?Anyway, it was the best thing to happen to the MMD community. It pushed more people into trying to create their own stuff and made nips more likely to share and communicate.

>>2155226>>2155263>WAAAAAAAAAAH the post>WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMETHING THAT LITERALLY ANYONE CAN USE PRODUCES SO MUCH GARBAGEDo your fucking jobs mods and get rid of the same 100 cancer posts every single mother fucking thread already.

>>2155424That's literally not what I said at all. Don't you realize that responding to a strawman is saying what offended you isn't enough to rationally get that mad over?

Anyway I was only asking if people like what saturates the market. As a bystander it seems generic. So thanks for communicating that you find it bad, even if you warped my inquiry to pretend your anger at me was more justifiable than it actually was...

>>2155518i think you missed his point.if you were a regular you'd notice newfags poping up with the same complaints/observations/opinions/ whatever the fuck you wanna call it, and its gotten old. I mean really old. like several tiers beond beating a dead horse

>>2156806I hate the move to twitter too that most creators are doing, even more so when they put downloads for higher quality behind paywalls like fantia or enty. The constant nuking of iwara videos is pretty annoying too.

>>2156813I found just a day ago a website that has videos at least from iwara and youtube and videos that no longer are in iwara too so I like it and don't really mind if they take videos from elsewhere but I'm not a creator though. Site is pretty new seems by checking it with whois example. mmdance.tv

Then it should be in the sticky. Period. If it really does happen so much that it hurts the thread, then it needs to go in the sticky. Even if it's just to direct newfags to some other mmd community like the iwara forums or something idgaf where

I remember seeing this one video with Yuzuki Yukari and 2 other girls and I cannot find it. The song used was the same as this vid: http://ecchi.iwara.tv/videos/gk2dgswkrgclzbaal ; anyone have the vid in case it got taken down?

i load in various models/scenes etc into mmd and i get this error when i try to load in something extra anyone know what the cause would be and how to fix it?tried to google mmd runtime error and i cant seem to find an answer i have lost alot of unsaved (yes i know its my fault) work to this and its killing my enthusiasm

>>2157887Another issue can be running out of memory which can be a problem if you start trying to load too many models and effects at once.. I've also seen custom virtual memory settings cause crashes with MMD, but that would likely only affect users that have intentionally over-ridden the MS virtual memory settings. If you can provide more details about your system memory and how many or which types of models and effects your're trying to load it may help diagnosing the issue.

>>2158077its crashed with many things but everything i try to load works individually

>>2158080i thought it might be a memory issue heres my specs but i never see MMD spike up in task managerin this particular case it was 3 models (eringis takao, prinz eugen (akomni edit) and a dick model (expenis) and a stage which was kuros roomthen i tried to add in semen○液 which caused the crash

Posting this because I was referred from /wsr/I'm looking for an mmd of Motoori Kosuzu, but currently having some difficulty.>https://bowlroll.net/file/19018>http://seiga.nicovideo.jp/seiga/im2636245I was looking at these two models but the first is behind a password I can't figure out and the second one has no more download link anywhere I could find.>http://mikumikudance.wikia.com/wiki/Kosuzu_Motoori_(Tsumidango)This sight gives a password for that first model, but it doesn't work and I'm not sure what Sm numbers might refer too.Ultimately I would prefer the second model because I think it looks cuter, but I would appreciate either model, or any Kosuzu model that looks nice. Multiple to choose from would be fantastic but I won't get my hopes up.

>>2158492Quick update and I won't waste anymore threadspace, a /wsr/ anon found the bowlroll file's password, so my request was completed. Still, if there are other nice Kosuzus you would be willing to link or share I would be grateful.

>>2158492The second model goes to a blog, and one of the posts links to the creator's bowlroll account, which contains all of his models. Here's the bowlroll link for the specific model you were looking for: https://bowlroll.net/file/19616

>>2159345the fuck is that, a xnalara model ported to mmd? those ones tend to end like with tons of moving bones, especially the face.also, those better be bones for some juicy booty and thigh jiggle down there
